  • Scott Miller WR | PIT

    Steelers' Scotty Miller: Targeted seven times in loss

    Miller secured three of seven targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Browns.

    Miller has had minimal production for most of the season, as he had just one catch over his first 10 appearances, but he logged three receptions for a second consecutive week in Sunday's defeat. He was on the field for 64 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps against Cleveland, and he'll likely continue to see increased playing time in Pittsburgh's win-or-go-home matchup against Baltimore in Week 18 since DK Metcalf will remain suspended.

  • Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: No catches vs Packers

    Hopkins was held catchless on one target Saturday against the Packers.

    Baltimore had a run-heavy game plan Saturday with 53 rush attempts compared to just 20 passes. Hopkins' snap share dipped relative to recent weeks when he'd been playing roughly one-third of the snaps; he played just 25 percent of the snaps against the Packers. Hopkins hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 2 and has just one game with more than two receptions this season. Baltimore seems to have unlocked a new offensive philosophy that leans on Derrick Henry, so targets could be limited again in Week 18 whether it's Lamar Jackson (back) or Tyler Huntley under center.

  • Rashod Bateman WR | BAL

    Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Makes one catch vs Packers

    Bateman had a seven-yard reception on one target in Saturday's win over the Packers.

    Bateman continues to see a healthy snap share (53% in Week 17), but his target share remains limited. He has three catches for 30 yards on seven targets in four games since suffering an ankle injury in Week 10 that cost him two weeks. In fairness, Baltimore only asked Tyler Huntley to throw it 20 times in Saturday's win as it leaned heavily on Derrick Henry and the run game. The leading receiver, Zay Flowers, topped out with four catches for 30 yards. If Lamar Jackson (back) remains out or is limited in Week 18, there may not be much passing volume to go around for players like Bateman.

  • Bears' Luther Burden: Avoids major injury

    Burden is believed to have suffered a minor quad injury during Sunday night's 42-38 loss to the 49ers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Burden was injured on the final play of Sunday's game and had to be carted off the field, after the rookie second-round pick broke out with a career-high 138 receiving yards and one TD while securing eight of nine targets. He'll undergo further testing Monday, but it's encouraging that the team believes he avoided a serious injury. Chicago has already clinched the NFC North and can't claim the No. 1 seed in the conference and a first-round bye in the playoffs, so Burden could be held out as a precaution for the team's regular-season finale at home against the Lions in Week 18, regardless of the test results.

  • Malachi Corley WR | CLE

    Browns' Malachi Corley: One touch in win

    Corley caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Steelers in Week 17.

    Corley, whose playing time has ticked up the last few weeks, played the third-most snaps at wide receiver for the Browns behind Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman. As has been the case all season however, the offense is not set up to provide value for multiple wideout, and Corley has just four catches for 25 yards over the last three games. He's made a bigger impression as a kickoff returner, but that role went away Sunday, as the Browns tapped Trayveon Williams for those duties.

  • Isaiah Bond WR | CLE

    Browns' Isaiah Bond: One grab in win

    Bond secured his lone target for 16 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over Pittsburgh in Week 17.

    The reception was just Bond's sixth (16 targets) over the last nine games. His production has varied from week to week, and he's been hampered by inconsistency at quarterback, leading to just 17 catches on 42 targets (40.4 percent catch rate). Despite the erratic production, Bond's flashed enough (19.1 YPR) to be considered a future piece of the puzzle in the Cleveland offense.

  • Cedric Tillman WR | CLE

    Browns' Cedric Tillman: Sets up lone TD in win

    Tillman caught his lone target for 42 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Steelers in Week 17.

    Tillman made an impact on Cleveland's lone touchdown drive. He dug the Browns out from deep in their own territory with his only reception of the day and set up Harold Fannin (groin) for a 28-yard score. Fannin has been Shedeur Sanders' leading target the last few weeks, so the groin injury that forced him to leave Sunday's contest could have big implications for the Cleveland passing game in the regular-season finale next Sunday against the Bengals. If Fannin's held out, then wide receivers like Tillman and Jerry Jeudy could see more targets.

  • Jake Bobo WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Limited role in win

    Bobo wasn't targeted in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers.

    Bobo was scratched in the previous game, but he handled 17 offensive snaps in his return to the lineup because both Rashid Shaheed (concussion) and Cody White (groin) exited the game early with injuries. Bobo appeared to serve as the No. 3 wide receiver for the rest of the game, partially due to his strong run-blocking abilities. He could handle another increased role in Week 18 against the 49ers if Shaheed and White are unavailable.

  • Dareke Young WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Dareke Young: Targeted once in win

    Young didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Panthers.

    Young logged 11 offensive snaps -- his largest total since Week 3 -- because Rashid Shaheed (concussion) and Cody White (groin) exited the game early and didn't return. The Seahawks face a crucial test in Week 18 with the No. 1 seed on the line against the 49ers, and Young could have a slightly increased role once again if Shaheed and White can't go.

  • DJ Moore WR | CHI

    Bears' DJ Moore: Struggles while battling illness

    Moore (illness) had one reception on four targets for seven yards in Sunday's 42-38 loss to the 49ers.

    Moore was able to suit up for Sunday Night Football despite carrying a questionable tag due to an illness. Fantasy managers didn't benefit much from his presence in the lineup after the starter finished with a 25 percent catch rate. Moore was coming off two of his better games of the season prior to Sunday's dud, so there is hope for a bounce-back performance against the Lions once he is fully recovered in Week 18.
